The Manila Police District filed murder charges against John Paul Solano, Rafael Trangia and other Aegis Juris fraternity members in connection with the death of Horacio Castillo III. The mother of Trangia was also charged.

Criminal charges have been filed against John Paul Solano, Ralph Trangia and other Aegis Juris members.

John Paul Solano, an Aegis Juris fraternity member who surrendered to authorities last week, was charged with murder, perjury, obstruction of justice, robbery and violation of the Anti-Hazing Law. Solano admitted bringing Castillo to the Chinese General Hospital though he initially lied about finding Atio’s body on a sidewalk in Balut, Tondo.

Solano was set to tell all about the hazing death of Atio Castillo during a Senate hearing on Monday but decided to defer his testimony after murder charges were filed against him. Instead, he divulged the names of this involved in the hazing of Horacio Castillo III in a closed door Senate executive session.
